Response to Where did the scientific method go?

Noseda and McLean raise interesting points. With regard to the ability to reproduce a paper's methodology and findings, the fact that descriptions of methods in Supplementary Material online are not copy edited for grammar or clarity at Nature Biotechnology (or at any other Nature research journal for that matter) could be argued to potentially compromise the lucidness and ease with which a reader can repeat a published experiment.
